A homeopathic Remedy.

President Harvey In his annual address to
the Maine Homeopathic Society, while TAX
ing exceptions to the medical registration
bill passed by the last Legislature and ap-
proving the Governors veto, said there
was no doubt need Of a law which shall re-
gulate the practice Of medicine in this State
and that such law ought to be and could be
passed. President Harvey's plan would be
to make 1t misdemeanor for anyone to as
sumo the title Of doctor in public manner
without diploma showing that he is grad
uate Of an accredited medical college. But
the same difficulty presents itself in this
plan which DR.. Harvey found In the bill
passed last winter. He thought that was
framed too much in the interest OF certain
class OF physicians. 1t contemplated a
board to be appointed by the Governor to ex-
anime candidates and furnish them certif-
cate If their examination was satisfactory.
Ii the majority Of that board were allopatbs
they might transcend the purpose of the
law and throw out certain men, not because
they were not versed in medical science. but
because they inclined toward a certain
school of practice. How does DIR. Haryey's
plan better this? A diploma from an ac-
credited medical college is to be sufficient to
give candidate certificate. Who is to de-
eide what colleges are accredited9 Some
body must. And the only men competent to
do so are physicians who are acquainted
with medical colleges and the kind of In
struction given in them. There must then
be board Of physicians to decide what col
leges are accredited and what are not In de-
termining this point the board will have just
as good chance to discriminate as in de-

Good Advice.


The Aroostook Pioneer has not for some
time looked with favor on the project OF
building a Short Line railway into Aroos-
took. Houlton, Of whose prosperity the
Pioneer is the unwearying guardian, would
not be the terminus of such "A line, which
would push on to the great bend of the
Aroostook River, whereon are the thriving
towns of Fort Fairfield, Caribou and Presque
Isle Perhaps the Pioneer feels that such
direct line might make Of Houlton way
station instead Of increasing its prosperity
as "a distributing and receiving point for the
wide region of happy farming country that
well as to the west of it. This reason, how
ever, is not urged by the Pioneer, which
rather bases its opposition on the fact that
new line would only divide the traffic with
the New Brunswick railway, which already
serves Aroostook. "The interest on the ad-
mitted cost of the road, at four per cent"
| says the Pioneer, sis sixty thousand dollars
year, or one hundred and sixty-five
dollars per day. The men who own that
amount of money will not invest the
same in such a scheme. Why? Because the
road, if built, is built and operated against
the interests of the great corporation now
handling the traffic of this section and the
Province. One road and its connections do
a fair business, two would but divide that
amount. and inevitably the weaker, or new
road must go to the wall. How useless then
| for men Of small means, or narrow circum-
stances. to promise to pay sums which they
| cannotspare. in fuItherance of so ill-advised
a plan" Opinions will differ in Aroostook
as to the wisdom of the first part Of this OBJ
servation; of the appropriateness of the last
part no one in Aroostook or anywhere else
will doubt. Men of ''small means or mar
row circumstances" have no business to take
| stock in new railroads. There are scores Of
towns and hundreds of individuals in Maine
that will tell the farmers of Aroostook thai
taking stock in new railroad is a risky
| speculation.

The Machias Union objects to the continu-
alton Of the two hundred or more Passama-
Quoddy Indians on their beautiful land at
Pleasant Point. "The Point they occupy"
says the Union, sis not only the pleasantest
part of the town, or one of the pleasantest,
but hardly can Point or cape of land be
found on the coast anywhere more desirable
for summer cottagers." The Union would
have the Indians removed to Indian Town
ship. q tract of land on the st. Croix river
about twenty-five miles above Calais. The
Union should be careful how 1t talks. Its
words may incire the Washington County
"Shacker Boys" to begin "boomer" ex-
pedition into Pleasant Point. Then the mi
litia would be called out and the evil fame
of Indian troubles would frlghten summer
tourists from our shores. Better not stir up
the PassamaQuoddics.

The summer meeting of the Suffolk North
Association Of Congregational ministers was
held at Somerville, Mass, this week, and
five Andover students were examined fol-
icensure. The examination was very long
and exhaustive and the ministers expressed
great satisfaction at the answers given by
the candidates. On the question of future
probation, one students answer was that
death is not necessarily the determining
point; man may reach point long before
death from which there is no turning back !;
and the possibility Of repentance after death
ought to be admitted" Another said that
he "had not yet got where lie could say there
was possibility ofa future probation" Said
third, men will be judged according to
their acceptance or rejection Of Christ; In
order to do this there must be, here or here
after, knowledge Of Christ sufficient for
salvation. l do not expect that / shall ever
address any one who has not that degree of
knowledge; / should not preach the doctrine
of future probation, because it would be a
matter with which my hearers had nothing to
do" The inference from the answers seems
to be that the students Of Andover come from
that institution without any very decided
opinions either way on tho subject of proba-
tion after death. II the idea impressed upon
the students's minds is the one the profess
ors have sought to impress upon them there
it cannot be said that the professors are at
all dogmatic on this point

Mr.. Sigourney Butler, the new comptroller
Of the Treasury. has got himself into serious
trouble with some of the leading lights Of
the Democracy by disallowing some of the
bills of the Board of Visitors to the Naval
School at Annapolis. The charges for cham
payne and other stimulating fluids are the
items objected TO. Mr. Dawson, editor Of the
Charleston News and Courier, administers to
Mr.. Butler a sewers categation for his per-
formance, and wants to know why he doesn't
object to terrapin as well as to champagne.
One is quite as needless as the other. Mr..
Dawson thinks that II Mr.. Butler is trying
to commit the Democracy to prohibition he
will find it uphill work-an opinion in
which no doubt the general public will hear
tily concur.

Last winter the Legislature created the
town of Randolph out Of a part OF Pittston,
and II did nothing during the whole winter
that it ought to be more proud of. The new
town is going about its BUSINESS with an en-
ergy that promises prosperity. The last
town meeting voted to exempt from taxa
tion for ten years any new industries that
would employ twenty-five men in the town.
What is still more praiseworthy, though
more unusual, the town passed an ordinance
that the people shall keep their premises
cleared up in order that the town may be
made moro attractive. Randolph, when she
comes of age, ought to be both rich and
beautiful

The Nova Scotia Chief Justice who has
been hearing the case of the Yankee schoon-
er Adams has sense of humor. He
stopped the British lawyer, who was pro-
ceeding to argue against the American s

that he understood the American counsel to
be joking, or at least not serious, when he

The captain Of the Celtic testifes that he
was running at the rate of fifteen knots an
hour immedia tely before the collision with
the Britannia. Fifteen knots an hour in a
dense fog when near port, and therefore in a
locality where many vessels are likely
to be encountered, would seem to be a much
higher rate of speed that is compatible with
safety. In the anxiety to make quick trips
the element of safety is too lightly re-

The New Hampshire politicians seem to
have settled down to the conviction that the
Hon. William Z. Chandler will be elected to
ill out the late Senator Pixies term, and are
giving their attention now to the question
whether or not Senator for full term
shall be chosen by this Legislature. Sena-
tor Pixies term will expire March 4, 1889.
There is a Legislature elected in New Hamp-
shire in November, 1888, but the Legislature
then elected does not convene until June
SO unless the present Legislature elects a
successor New Hampshire from the fourth
of March, 1889, till June will have but one
representative in the United States Senate.
Every State is entitled to two Senators under
the Constitution. But United States statute
provides that the Legislature elected next
preceding the expiration of Senator's term
shall choose his successor. So this dilem-
ma arises: If the present Legislature elects
Senator 1t would seem to do SO in violation
Of the United States statute. If that work is
handed over to the next Legislature then
New Hampshire for three months will be
deprived of its constitutional rights The
best thing the State can do is to change its
constitution and assemble its Legislature in
the winter after the ma nncr of other States.
Thus this ever recurring question will be
settled, and the farmers will not be drawn
away from their work at the busiest season
Of the year.

The problem of how to deal with incorri-
giblc criminals-men who lack either the will
or the disposition to reform--is getting some
prominence in Massachusetts by reason Of a
bill introduced in the General Court which
provides that any person who has been twice
sentenced to the State prison of that State OF
any other State, and twice imprisoned ac-
cordingly, shall, upon q third conviction Of
State prison offense, be adjudged habitu-
al criminal, and sentenced to twenty-five
years Imprisonment, but may, If the govern
or and council are satisfied that he is re-
formed, be released on a certificate to that
effect upon such conditions as the governor
may impose, subject, however, to be returned
to prison for the term Of his original sem
tence if his conduct proves that his reforma-
tion was illusory, or that he has relapsed
into crime. The problem is one that sooner
or later all the States will have to attack.
